India’s Public Market Fundraising May Hit Record ₹6.5 Trillion
Indian companies are expected to raise a lot of money from public markets in FY27.
They can do this by selling shares through IPOs, QIPs, and block deals.
Motilal Oswal estimates the total could reach ₹6-6.5 trillion.
IPO fundraising alone could rise to ₹2.75-3 trillion.
More investors are participating across companies of different sizes.
Some companies are also choosing lower IPO valuations and smaller offerings to attract buyers.
However, the strong pace may slow after many companies in the current pipeline complete their offerings.
The forecast comes from Motilal Oswal investment-banking head Amit Ramchandani.
Motilal Oswal projects India’s total public-market fundraising at ₹6-6.5 trillion in FY27.
IPO fundraising could reach ₹2.75-3 trillion, up from about ₹1.7 trillion in FY26.
QIP fundraising is expected to roughly double to ₹1.25-1.5 trillion in FY27.
Block and bulk deals could contribute about ₹1.5 trillion as institutional demand broadens.
The IPO pace may slow after the current pipeline of approved and pending offerings is cleared.

Bullish outlook
Amit Ramchandani expects IPOs, QIPs, and block deals to lift total public-market fundraising to ₹6-6.5 trillion in FY27.
Potential slowdown
Ramchandani expects activity to moderate after the current queue of offerings is exhausted.
IPO activity
Bullish outlook
At least 20 IPOs are expected in September, with a stronger second half and FY27 IPO value comfortably exceeding FY26.

Once the pipeline of relatively large, mature companies is cleared, a decline in listings could mainly affect smaller businesses.
